Hi people ,i need some help please.

the studs on the new wheel hub are not long enough to go through the volk gtc wheels leaving no room for the nut.

 

Can some one let me know were to get some thats the right for the job,im sure other volk owners have had this problem..

 

cheers adam:D;)

Few options Adam, ARP do them, so do H&R (the guys that make the hubcentric spacers) and lastly your local alloy wheel shop (if you've got one) should too. They'll be in that order of expensiveness too. I'll have a look to see if I kept the piece of paper with the sizes I bought if you need it bud? I didn't fit volks but needed to replace the ones for my spacers.

cheers lads.

 

its not the nuts ,but the bolt length.. ther to short ,ther standerd bolts all new with the hub from toyota,

iv looked at the old hub and ther the same length,so it must be the 18x10 fronts /18x11 rears have more depth to them,needing a longer bolt.??

the standerd oem bolt is about half a 3/4 inch to short

 

P3TE what size are your gtc,s mate..?

My spacers are 20mm hubcentrics, the extended bolts that I got from an alloy wheel shop (so they're probably available online from alloy places) were M12x1.5, DP 14 (spline diameter), and 70mm long. From memory they were around 3quid each.

Nice wheels btw bud :cool:

It's not just you. :eyebrows:

 

I've got the Volk GTC's and the same nuts as in the photo above. I had to fit longer studs as the stock ones weren't long enough. :rolleyes:

 

I can't remember where I bought them. :blink:
